This Is About Thersites By The Way.
This is about Thersites by the way.
Everyone else mentioned in the pre-story character list had their rank and important relations listed, but Thersites was none so lucky.
Agamemnon, son of Atreus; king of Argos and Mycenae; leader of the host.
…
Achilles, son of Peleus and the sea nymph Thetis, grandson of Aeacus, son of Zeus; chief of the Myrmidons from Phthia and Hellas.
…
Odysseus (Ulysses), son of Laertes and husband of Penelope; king of Ithaca and leader of the Cephallenians.
…
Diomedes, son of Tydeus and grandson of Oeneus; king of Middle Argos, Tiryns and Aegina.
…
Patroclus, son of Menoetius; comrade and squire of Achilles.
…
Thersites, ugliest of the Greek soldiers; an endless talker.
My guy. My man. Sirs. He's just a guy. He's poor, he has scoliosis and he speaks out against Agamemnon, why must you be so cruel?
Has he no family? For all we know he was born of a rotting broken bone, who is this man's father? Why is he even mentioned here if all you can tell us is that he talks a lot and isn't pretty?
He doesn't even talk that much! He talks a pretty normal amount for the always very long speeches that every single soldier gives. It's wordy, but everyone is wordy, he isn't special. He isn't rambling, he's just speaking 'out of place'.
Not to mention that once you get to him in the actual story, Odysseus beats and belittles him publicly. What the fuck, man, he's just a guy! A little guy! Be nice to him!

Odysseus everytime he’s in a disguise: Who?? Odysseus? That handsome man? That sexy young fellow? That strapping soldier? That godlike hero? That cunning trickster? That man of wealth and beauty? That kingly man? I heard he’s super cool. I hear he was born in Egypt. I mean Crete. I mean Same.
The suitors: what
Odysseus: And he killed a million guys and he’s super rich and he’s coming home to his hot wife. Right now.
Antinous: what
Odysseus: Arrow.
